hiya, just stopping by to say hi and that i just adopted a sheltie. bad news he was very very sick, good news is he is doing well now. got him from petland, they are taking care of his vet bills.
his name is jake and he is sable and he has some merle traits, the graying of the fur like stripes here and there. he is darling a little scared of stuff. but only had him a week. i have been sorta crate training him, i have a long tall laundry storage container, i made a bed in there for him, so he isnt locked in anywhere. it has been working well. he has had a few accidents, so i have determined that he can have some time out, but i have to watch him every second. when i leave him in there and take him outside after awhile he goes outside and i compliment him and stuff.
this is harder then i thought wow! i love him, he is precious, and thank god getting over a bacterial or viral infection, he has been on 4 different meds. so its been tough putting him outside for potty in the yucky cold. poor boy. getting him to walk on a leash is tough too. since he is feeling much better i have taken him bye bye on short trips, like to dunkin donuts which is about 7 mins from my house. it really was nice to see up cheered up and running around the house after being so sick.
ok im rambling 3 hours of sleep doesnt help so i just figured i would say hi and this is what im doing now. and see how everyone is training their puppies and such.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here. The people are very helpful, caring and fun. Welcome to the world of being owned by a Sheltie!
sorry to hear that your pup has been sick.
